A couple nice emails this week from around the world. For scooters we had:

I hear more and more of your scooters (also in the Tampa Bay area) and all sounds great. You seem to have, and are building a better reputation. I can only hope to add to that.

And for scooter parts:

Received my Vespa exhaust [...] late last week and fitted it the weekend. I'm really pleased with the quality (and the price when you compare it to other makes [...] about 1/3 of the price!!) and the extra power that it gives my 177 super!

Finally my 177 super has a powerband! Also, the sound it makes is awesome, it sounds like a 2 stroke dirt bike.

So this is just a quick email to say a big thanks. I've already recommended you to the other blokes in the scooter club (Adelaide SC - Australia) and I'm sure that they'll be in touch with you VERY soon.

We've added a few parts to the sale page recently. Lambretta rear hub bearings for only $19. Price elsewhere is much higher.

We also never do 2-port Vespas anymore, just 3 or 5-port, so we've got a few 2-port cylinder kits to sell for only $69.

Meanwhile on the new parts page, you'll see plenty of sidepanels now, so if you've ever needed an exta right-side one for that TS1 carb poking out, or an extra set for your recently crunched VBB, take a look.

Finally the port strike in Vancouver is somewhat settled and cargo is flowing again, so our M-class LML electric-start motors should be delivered soon. Which means they'll be installed soon. Which means you'll be driving your M-class Vespa soon. Woohoo!

On a related note, an M-class email:

PS: I spoke with [not Karl Rove] tonight about the VBB, and he gave me nothing but accolades about ScootRS, and the same goes for everyone I've spoken to on rallies. You really are building up a great name for yourself here in your native Canada. Good job!

We finished off the LD section. Now all the Lambretta part numbers are done. You can now refer to the official LD parts books when ordering.

But what about Vespa? Lambrettas are neatly covered in a couple books divided by series type but Vespa has, what? 20 different books, most with different numbers of sections. In the past we mimiced the Lambretta sections, but if anyone has any bright ideas or shining examples, let us know.

Oh: and this blog now has titles so you can more easily, with a good conscience, choose to ignore entries. Somehow we managed five years without them, then suddenly developed the taste for summarization. Only 789 back entries to go...

Most of the Lambretta parts now have new part numbers of the form L01001, where L = Lambretta, 01 = the section number in the official Italian spare parts book, and 001 = the drawing number in that section. Anything after that number is a variation thereof. (GP parts are listed as variations rather than use a whole other book.)
